  • Fantastic all rounder

    My little girl has the hardest time with nappies as with majority of nappy brands she gets really bad nappy rashes and she becomes upset seeing the nappies, as we are trying to toilet train we have been using pull ups and Cub nappy pants are the one of the only ones that don't cause nappy rashes, it's easy for myself and my little girl to put on and take off, she says they are "comfy" and don't hurt, they fit great and aren't bulky, they can even last overnight which is great.

    The price is absolutely amazing, we highly recommend to anyone.

  • So soft!

    I have really enjoyed using these nappies. We would normally use another brand at the same price point but these are so much better. They have to be the softest nappies I have felt, I am sure they have changed the way they're made because I haven't liked them previously. We have also had problems with other brands leaking but haven't had any leaks while using these. I will continue to buy these nappies! My todler is running and climbing and we haven't had anything sneak out.

  • Park Day Proof

    Cub nappies in junior size 6 are a blessing for our park adventures with my daughter! No more leaks or discomfort, just pure fun. These nappies fit perfectly and keep her dry and happy throughout playtime. The numerous trips down the slide and hours of swinging are no match for these nappies. Highly recommend for active little ones!

  • Affordable

    I’ve been purchasing cub nappy pants for a little while now and am quite happy with them. First thing I love about them is the price! So affordable and you can actually get 2 different sized pack, a smaller pack for $9.50 and a larger one for $16. Not many brands have the option of larger pack sizes. They are soft and fit snug on my little one without irritating him. I do unfortunately get the occasional leaks overnight which isn’t ideal but I can live with it as it isn’t very often. One thing these nappy pants need is a small tab on the back to be able to fold and secure the nappy once used. They have a super cute design with a little bear which my child loves looking at. The bear has a back and front to help you know which way it goes. I recommend giving these nappy pants a go.

  • Cost effective excellence

    Cub nappies are a real surprise. At a reasonable cost, they are reliable for big fees and poos, do not cause nappy rash, and hang on when our little one decides that they want to escape their pants. Due to being Coles "discounted" brand, they are always in stock (unlike other good brands on the toosh). I didn't like them on newborn skin, but absolutely recommend for 4/5months and older.

  • We love CUB nappies!!

    CUB Nappy Pants have been a game-changer for our active toddler! The stretchy waistband and tear-away sides make changes a breeze, even when he's on the move. They fit snugly without sagging, and we haven't experienced any leaks thanks to the triple leg guards. Plus, they're incredibly soft and breathable, which is important for delicate skin. We love that they're award-winning and made with sustainable materials. CUB Nappy Pants have made our lives easier and kept our little cub comfortable and dry!

  • The. Best decision ever

    We have not changed our nappy since her birth. Her skin is very sensitive and delicate. I scare to try anything on her. But this CUB changed my mind and it gives a real comfort even for the night sleeps . The best ever

  • Decent option

    Thes are great if you are toilet training but as they don't hold a lot of liquid, I wouldn't use unless your child is using the toilet/potty most of the time.

    We use them for quick trips to the shop, or a nap but not overnight.

  • Great nappy pants, rival others exceptionally

    Soft, comfortable and absorbent. They fit well although I used size 4 as my size 3 toddler is a wriggler and it's easier to put on nappy pants rather than nappies. The elastic band was strong but also easy to rip off. They did not leak once. I also like the side frill, they look cute and serve a purpose for leaks and poo spreads.

    Unfortunately the CUB brand do not make size 3 nappy pants which would certainly rival premium brands that do. This causes me to stock up on size 3 nappy pants of other brands when on special.

    I also like the non stand out prints as they don't show through toddlers clothes.

    An improvement I'd like to see is a sticky strip at the back to roll the nappy and stick keeping everything small and contained including the smell. This makes it easier to pack if no bin is around.

    All in all I'd certainly purchase these again due to price point, design, comfortable fit and absorbency. These are just as good as any non premium and premium brands too!

  • Comfortable and convenient

    Love the look and feel. Such a breeze to use versus traditional nappies for my nearly 3 year old. Doesn’t seem so hold as much capacity as a traditional nappy but that’s to be expected as these are nappy pants! Also if I had to change one thing I would love for there to have a sticky tab on the back so you can roll up and secure the nappy before throwing it away! Nothing like a nappy full of poo that will open up before you get the chance to bag it and throw it into the bin!

    At first sight they didn’t look as high quality or even as appealing to the eye as other nappy pants brands but over continued nights usage they seem to be just as effective as any of the other brands

    Sorry to say but the sizing was small so the tabs fell off and it leaked. I am sure if the size was the next one up it would happen. I don't know what more to say. Please fit the sizing.

  • Comfort and Convenience Combined

    Comfort: The soft, breathable materials ensure that my little one stays comfortable all day (and night) long. No irritating elastic marks or uncomfortable chafing – these nappy pants are gentle on skin, allowing for unrestricted movement and play.

    Fit: The elasticated waistband and stretchy sides provide a snug yet flexible fit, accommodating various shapes and sizes. Whether your little one is a wriggler or a crawler, these nappy pants stay in place, offering protection without feeling too tight or restrictive.

    Absorbency: I was pleasantly surprised by the absorbency of CUB Nappy Pants. Even during overnight use or extended periods between changes, they effectively lock in moisture, keeping dry and comfortable.

    Convenience: Perhaps the most significant advantage of CUB Nappy Pants is their convenience. The pull-on design makes diaper changes a breeze – perfect for babies/toddlers who refuse to stay still. Plus, the tear-away sides simplify removal, allowing for quick and easy changes on the go.

    In conclusion, CUB Nappy Pants exceed expectations on all fronts. With their combination of comfort, fit, absorbency, and convenience, they have become a staple in our house. I would recommend giving CUB Nappy Pants a try.

  • Affordable day time nappy

    As a mum of twins, nappies can be very expensive! These CUB nappy pants are at an affordable price point! They fit well, absorb well in the daytime, not one bout of nappy rash and they have been a life changer to the hip pocket... Why didn't I try these earlier?! I have found that they do not absorb as well overnight for my heavy wetting boy, so he has only been wearing these during the day, but no issues for my girl. Would be to see a plastic sticky tab added to them to help with clean up time, but otherwise I am blown away by the nappy pants for the price point!

  • Cost effective option

    Cub Nappy Pants offer an economical alternative to brands like Babylove and Huggies. While they are budget-friendly, some users may find the absorbency not quite on par with the more expensive options. On the plus side, they have a stretchy waistband and tear-away sides. Recommended for parents who prioritise cost-effectiveness, but may require more frequent changes to ensure dryness.

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.

  • You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.

  • A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
